Sample Database Table - Customer

CID CName Balance City
111 Suresh Babu 128.66 Nasik
222 Azagu Varshith 560 Madurai
333 Haris Karthik 673.88 Bangalore
444 Kishor Kumar -188.63 Chennai

SQL FLOOR() Example - With Table Column

The following SQL SELECT statement find the previous whole integer(without fraction digits) value of a given table column "Balance" from the "Customer" table:


SELECT CName, 
FLOOR(Balance) As 'New Balance' 
FROM Customer;

The result of above query is:

CName New Balance
Suresh Babu 128
Azagu Varshith 560
Haris Karthik 673
Kishor Kumar -189

The following SQL SELECT statement find the previous whole integer value of a given input number for creating condition (greater than the given value) on table column "Balance" from the "Customer" table:


SELECT CID, CName, Balance 
FROM Customer
WHERE Balance > FLOOR(128.70);

The result of above query is:

CID CName Balance
111 Suresh Babu 128.66
222 Azagu Varshith 560
333 Haris Karthik 673.88

Note: The Floor(128.70) function will return a value of "128". So now the result set contains and display records or rows which has balance more than "128" on column "Balance" from the "Customer" table.
